Figure 1 A 46-year-old woman with invasive ductal carcinoma in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. The mass is not well shown in CC view (A) and MLO view (B) because of surrounding dense parenchyma. The mass with calcification is clearly shown in the spot compression (C), and we get more detail of the mass. MLO, mediolateral-oblique.

Figure 2 A 36-year-old woman with the artifact due to residue of plaster. Residue of plaster can be seen in the inner quadrant of the right breast (A). It is similar to microcalcification. After cleaning with water, the residue of plaster disappears (B). Techniques in Vascular & Interventional Radiology 2014 17, 10-15DOI: (10.1053/j.tvir.2013.12.003) Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Figure 3 A 61-year-old woman with invasive ductal carcinoma in the posterior outer quadrant of the left breast. Mass is clearly shown on the type 1 mammogram CC view (A) and MLO view (B). MLO, mediolateral-oblique. Techniques in Vascular & Interventional Radiology 2014 17, 10-15DOI: (10.1053/j.tvir.2013.12.003) Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
Figure 4 A 49-year-old woman with invasive ductal carcinoma in the inner quadrant of the right breast. Mass is not very clear on the type 4 mammogram CC view (A) and MLO view (B). But the mass is displayed in the spot compression (C). MLO, mediolateral-oblique.

Figure 5 A 36-year-old woman with a fibroadenoma in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. A round high-density mass is displayed. The mass is characterized as having a circumscribed margin.

Figure 6 A 50-year-old woman with invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast. An irregular, high-density mass is shown on a magnification mammogram. The edges of the mass are poorly defined with spiculated and lobulated findings.

Figure 7 A 41-year-old woman with fibroadenoma of the right breast. A mass with popcorn calcifications is displayed on the magnification mammogram. Most of the margin is not very clear owing to it being obscured by surrounding breast tissue.

Figure 8 A 59-year-old woman with invasive ductal carcinoma with ductal carcinoma in situ of the right breast. Small, heterogeneous, and pleomorphic calcifications are shown. They are segmentally distributed. Techniques in Vascular & Interventional Radiology 2014 17, 10-15DOI: (10.1053/j.tvir.2013.12.003) Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
Figure 9 A 56-year-old woman with invasive ductal carcinoma in the inner upper quadrant of the left breast. A fenestrated compression grid is used to localize the lesion in the ML view and the needle is inserted to enter the skin parallel to the chest wall (A). With the needle in place, a repeat mammogram is obtained to check position (B). The needle is removed, the wire hooks onto breast tissue (C). After resecting the lesion, the specimen is checked (D).
